Katherine insisted on watching over her grandfather that evening, so she and Damien decided to stay for the night. As long as she was happy, he didn't mind it at all.
Good thing that the VIP hospital suite had one bedroom, so they and Frank agreed to take turns in staying up beside Grandpa Theo's bed while Deborah and her daughter, Caroline, went home to the mansion to rest.
Damien had been quiet the whole time, and she noticed that he was getting tired, so she held his hand and suggested right after her aunt left, "I'm fine staying here. Why don't you go home so you can rest properly?"
He shook his head and gave her a small smile as he responded, "I'm okay. I don't want to go home either. I'd rather stay here with you. I'll help you watch your grandpa."
His words touched her, so she could only agree to let him stay, knowing that he would only get worried if she wasn't around.
